Study
| Hypothesis or Background |
Despite the high prevalence of depression and its considerable impact on the population, knowledge about the pathogenesis of the illness and the antidepressant treatment response is still unknown
|
| Sample Information | 397 patients with major depression disorder (MDD) and 473 normal controls |
|---|
| Method Detail | A total of 397 patients with major depression disorder (MDD) and 473 normal controls were employed in the present research. Twelve single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) and receptor accessory protein (REEP5) genes were selected for genotyping using the GoldenGate genotyping assay. A total of 165 MDD patients completed a 6-week antidepressant treatment. Responders were defined as patients with at least a 50% reduction in Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression total scores posttreatment. |
| Method Keywords | genotyping |
| Result | Two SNPs (rs2464805 and rs563556) within the APC gene exhibited a statistically significant association with MDD when analyzed by genotype and allele frequencies. Three SNPs (rs495794, rs153549 and rs153560) in the REEP5 gene showed significant statistical differences between the responders and nonresponders. |
| Conclusions | The APC gene may be one of the susceptibility genes for MDD as well as a genetic link between psychiatric disease and cancer. REEP5 gene polymorphisms may influence antidepressant treatment response in MDD. |
